Takeda nodded his head in approval. He was glad to see Asuka still had a will to fight. He turned his attention back to his samurai opponent who issued a swords only challenge. While he didn't have an actual sword, he could easily make one. Takeda was certain using his jutsu for the sole purpose of creating a sword would not bother the samurai as he still planned on sticking to the sword's only challenge.

"We may proceed when you are ready."

Takeda closed his eyes and concentrated on a sword. He began creating the handle then worked on creating the blade. Within a matter of seconds he had finished creating his ice sword. The sword itself was of average height, no where near as large as his opponent's. He took a defensive stance and opened his eyes.
